Yes, I'm short as well...I did well on the long side, so I can't complain....BUT I was taking a short trip Wednesday and decided to close out my trading positions so I could just relax and enjoy my trip - I can tell you it wasn't very enjoyable to watch that parabolic move I missed, lol...but such is life. There will always be other opportunities. I did leave my long silver position open, but sold Friday morning. Fun with metals :)

I think you were very smart to close out any near term trade positions before taking any trip or vacation, the last thing anyone wants to do is worry about some trade position when you're out enjoying the trip with people you love and doing things together you want to do...
